The Cow Killer Pepper earns its legendary reputation from its namesake, the wingless female wasp known as the Eastern Velvet Ant. Rumored to deliver a sting strong enough to kill cattle, this pepper channels that fierce energy into a crossbreed designed for heat enthusiasts.
This pepper’s bleeding calyx adds a mesmerizing visual component that perfectly complements its fiery profile. Whether you’re an avid chili collector or simply crave the thrill of extreme heat, the Cow Killer Pepper stands in a league of its own.
